We propose a new method for the reconstruction of the Fourier phase of a complex LTI system based on the principal arguments of any pair of horizontal consecutive bispectrum slices of the system output. Since principal bispectrum arguments only are required, there is no need for two-dimensional phase unwrapping. The reconstructed phase diiers from the true one by a constant, integer multiples o...

We give a criterion allowing to verify whether or not two tilted algebras have the same relation-extension (thus correspond to the same cluster-tilted algebra). This criterion is in terms of a combinatorial configuration in the Auslander-Reiten quiver of the cluster-tilted algebra, which we call local slice.

Near the end of their natural life, many mammals enter a terminal state identifiable by a rapid loss of body weight resulting from hypophagia. This study extends characterization of this senescent state by comparing viability of metabolic mechanisms supporting neural plasticity in hippocampal slices from 24 to 30 month old senescent and age-matched presenescent (body-weight stable) F344 male ra...

Precision-cut tissue slices of both hepatic and extra-hepatic origin are extensively used as an in vitro model to predict in vivo drug metabolism and toxicity. Cryopreservation would greatly facilitate their use. In the present study, we aimed to improve (1) rapid freezing and warming (200 degrees C/min) using 18% Me(2)SO as cryoprotectant and (2) vitrification with high molarity mixtures of cr...

Received Jun 12 th , 2015 Revised Aug 20 th , 2015 Accepted Aug 26 th , 2015 Slicing is used for program analysis. It the process of extracting the statements of a program that are relevant to a given computation. Static slicing generates slices for all possible execution of a program helping in program understanding, verification, and maintenance and testing. Dynamic slices are smaller in size...

The purpose of this study was to characterize the mechanical behavior of tendon slices with different thicknesses. Tendon slices of 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 μm thickness were mechanically tested. The 300 μm slices were further tested for strength and modulus after 21,000-cycle fatigue testing under different applied strain levels (0, 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 12%). The tendon slice structure, morp...

The hippocampus plays a critical role in learning and memory and higher cognitive functions, and its dysfunction has been implicated in various neuropathological disorders. Electrophysiological recording undertaken in live brain slices is one of the most powerful tools for investigating hippocampal cellular and network activities. The plane for cutting the slices determines which afferent and/o...

Network slicing allows Mobile Operators to split the physical infrastructure into isolated virtual networks (slices), managed by Service Providers accommodate customized services. The Function Chains (SFCs) belonging a slice are usually deployed on best-effort premise: nothing guarantees that network resources will be sufficient support varying number of users, each with uncertain requirements....

A study was conducted to assess the impact of different blanching methods and time on quality dried pear slices. Pears are only available seasonally, making production high-quality slices a valuable commodity. The pears were prepared sliced before being blanched using three methods: traditional with hot water, steam, microwave for varying lengths time. After blanching, cooled then placed filter...

Dynamic slicing has long been considered as a useful tool for debugging programs as it effectively identifies a reduced fault candidate set which captures the faulty code in the program. Traditionally, a backward dynamic slice is computed starting from an incorrect value observed by the programmer during a failed program run. This incorrect value is either an incorrect output value or an incorr...
